Twitter, the video game.

Believe in great causes. Equality justice, in young people, in the power of words. What is great, very gostozzo

Is also homophobic, sexist, and in the end all conflicts are solved by beating the shit out of some anime villain.
Above all, the game just Copies the structure of P3 without making any real sense here, only more restrictive even.

People go to such great lengths to say something that they don't like is offensive. It's fine to dislike something without it being offensive, calm down. This review sucks.
Truth be told, Persona discourse has made me into someone who acts like a psychopath, now I cannot see the haters the same way anymore, even if they are sane.

I guess it's because I'm not a JRPG fan and this was my first Persona game, but I really enjoyed my time with this. But I can absolutely understand your perspective and I respect it.
Well I guess I really am reviving this dead horse from 2 years ago but I promise I don't mean this in a way that's meant to insult you but I really think it's unfair to say that Hashino has destroyed ATLUS. I will agree there's been a downgrade on ATLUS's quality but blaming it on Hashino makes completely no sense. I feel like pinning the blame on Hashino is completely wrong as that's really just pinning it down to one person and saying he is the cause, which is completely wrong in my eyes as Hashino wasn't even involved in the writing process for Persona 4 and 5, only Persona 3. Also should be taken into account ATLUS's other games during this time as well. I don't think Shin Megami Tensei IV is amazing but even then how would Hashino have caused anything on it?

Maybe I'm just just looking to deep at a throwaway line but after being a huge MegaTen fan for 2 years now and looking into the development process behind every MegaTen game I've played I think Hashino gets too much shit for stuff he didn't do. Katsura Hashin didn't destroy ATLUS, but he was there when it was being destroyed. Also should mention that a lot of the ATLUS staff that made these games what they were gone by this point, such as Kaneko, Okada, Tadashi etc. IDK but after being in the MegaTen fanbase for so long I feel as though its completely unfair to point at Hashino as a boogeyman, when the cause of ATLUS stagnating due to P4 and P5's success is due to a Board of Directors that Hashino is not a part of

I realise that this review was posted 2 years ago and your opinion may have changed since then, if so I'm completely fine with admitting how big of a buffoon I am. Again, I'd just like to clear up that the purpose of my reply isn't to mock you or insult you, I just think Katsura Hashino bears a lot of grunt for stuff he is not responsible for
